In Y World Series
The mighty Nats tightened down on Uppies Puppies in
night league world series play at the Athens YMCA last
night to clinch their supremacy, taking the third series
game with an 11-6 score. According to Athletic Director
Cobern Kelley, the game was close all the way to the last
inning when the Nats took advantage of glaring Puppy
errors to score five additional runs. -
Winning pitcher was Herb
Abroms who had hurled one of the
previous Nat wins against the
Puppies in the world series.
Abroms gave up five hits and
seven walks while Puppy pitcher
Donald Epps allowed seven hits
and four walks. The errors on the
part of the Puppies spelled defeat
in the last frame of play.
Donald Bell was one of the big
guns in the batting department for
the Nats, getting two for four
times up. The members of the
winning Nat aggregation were
awarded medals after the game
to signify their position as Champs
of the Night League.
Team members on Freddy
Nash’s victorious Nats were: Jim
Hall, Johnny Fortson, Jimmy Mer
cer, Chester Leathers, Don Bell,
Herb Abroms, Warren Lanier,
Riley Gunnels, David Thurmond,
and Cleveland Garrison.
In Indian league world series
the Wolverines pulled the fat from
the fire yesterday, deefating the
Trappers 5-4. Their winning run
came in the bottom of the sev
enth inning in due time to keep
their hopes in the world series
alive.
Howard Abney was the man
who made the winning run. Get
ting on base on an error, Abney
scored when Crawford slammed
out a clean double. The Trapper
edge over the Wolverines is now
two games to one, with two frays
remaining to determine the In
dian Champion. Any game can
make the difference now and both
teams are playing under tremen
dous pressure.
The Trappers’ top batsman was
probably Andy Mapp who was ac
credited with two for four times
at bat. Mike Tolbert was hurler
for the Trappers and Jerry Hen
don and Floyd Williams did
mound duty for the Wolverines.
Next tilt in the Indian league
series will be played on Wednes
day.
Today was the time for the third
in a series of five frays between
the Hotrods and the Sluggers of
the Cub league. This game will be
the decisive one in that series.

Leads Memphis
Over Crackers
By Associated Press
Don Nicholas-a nervy little guy
who plays centerfield for Mem
phis is the biggest theif in the
Southern Association.
He bats left, throws right, runs
like mad.
Last night Little Donald sneaked
home twice in one game against
Atlanta, and for good measure also
stole second. Memphis warmed to
its hottest pitch of the year just
watching Nicholas gallop and took
it on from there to whip Atlanta
twice, 14-3 and 10-2.
Nicholas leads the Southern As
sociation in thefts with 21 stolen
bases. If he can hold that pace
he'll take about 60 bases this year
and become the Southern’s top
base runner since the war.
The stubby flier from Phoenix,
Ariz,, practically robbed Atlanta
of a tie with Mobile for first place.
If Atlanta had won the double~
header, the Crackers would have
tied Mobile. Mobile lost to Chat
tanooga 3-0.
Both Chattanooga and New Or
leans won to move ahead of At
lanta in the standings. New Or
leans took second with a 7-3 vic=
tory over Nashville and Chattano
oga took third by whipfing Mobile.
?irmingham topped Little Rock
-2, ¢
Cliff Coggin, a fastballer from
Birmingham, walked the first two
batters he faced. Then he moved
them up a notch with a wild pitch.
That called for Ralph Atkins, Hal
Simpson and Ken Humphrey to
face him. ; S

Neecciai Mate
Hurls Second
No-Hitter
BRISTOL, Va.-Tenn., (AP) —
This baseball-wacky town never
thought it would see the likes of
Rocket Ron Necciai, the bullet-ball
pitching phenom who struck out 27
men in hurling a no-hitter.
But six days after Necciai's de
parture from the Class D Appa
lachian League, folks hereabouts
are raving over a new hurling
wonder-Bill Bell-who appears to
be every bit as good as the illus
trious Ron, and perhaps even bet
ter.
The 18-year-old Bell achieved
what is believed to be a minor
league record last night when he
turned in his second successive no
hit performance.
The 6 ft. 2 in. righthander
twirled his first no-hitter Thurs
day-the night after Necciai, who
fanned 109 in 42 2-3 innings,
pitched his last game for Bristol.
Bell whiffed 17 and drove home
the winning run as the Twins
edged Kingsport, 1-0.
Last night, Bell shackled Blue
field’s Blue Grays, striking out 20
as the Twins won, 4-0, to stretch
their winning streak to 16.
The trio of no-hitters by Bell
and Necciai came withon a span of
14 days.
Both are tabbed prize pitching
prospects by front office officials
of the parent Pittsburgh Pirates.
Which is rated the better?

Rosen, Adcock Lead
Major Loop Sluggers
BY BEN OLAN
NEW YORK, May 27.—(AP)—Hard-hitting Joe Ad
cock of the Cincinnati Reds and Al Rosen, sparkplug of the
power-laden Cleveland Indians, have the top slugging ave
erages in the major leagues today. e
Adcock, sidelined by a knee in
jury last Thursday, has collected
33 hits, good for 66 total bases,
in 99 times at bat for a remark
abie .667 slugging mark to lead
the National League. The Redleg
outfielder has pounded out four
doubles, four triples and seven
home runs,
Slugging averages released by
the Associated Press Statistical
Bureau also revealed that Rosen
with five doubles, three triples, 10
home runs and 85 total bases is
setting the pace in the American
League with a .654 slugging per
centage. Rosen has been at bat
130 times and has garnered 44
bingles. Averages include games
played last Sunday.
Total bases are figured on the
basis of one for a single, two for
a double, three for a triple and
four for a home run. To compute
a batter’s slugging average the to
tal times at bat are divided into
the total bases made on all hits.
Hank Sauer, the big gun in the
Chicago Cub attack, is giving Ad
cock a run for National League
slugging honors. His average is
.603.
Andy Pafko of the Brooklyn
Dodgers is the third leading N. L.
slugger with ,546 followed by Bob
by Thomson, New York’s golden
boy, at .542, and Philadelphia’s
Del Ennis with .516.
Rosen’s teammate Larry Doby
is the runnerup in the American
League. The Tribe outfielder, on
the shelf with a perennial leg &il
ment early in the season, has come
back with a rush and his 24 hits,
